    Teriyaki chicken tacos with black bean pico de gallo
    Marla N.

    Great friendly service, cold beer and great food! What more do you need?!? We stopped in for lunch. They have a pretty extensive beer menu along with a full bar. We opted for the daily special -Taco Tuesday! Teriyaki Chicken street tacos with pineapple, onion and cilantro. For sides we had the black bean pico de gallo and bacon cheese fries. How can you go wrong?

    Bacon burger

    Breakfast tacos and french fries.

    Visiting on a work trip and my hotel recommended this place very highly so I headed over for lunch. I ordered wings with blueberry pepper jelly sauce. Someone needs to bottle this so I can buy it and take some home. And the cook on the wings was perfect. They had a special for the day of breakfast tacos since it was taco Tuesday. Very good. And the fries were amazing.

    I try to go to Brick's Bar & Grill most of the time when I go downtown Cedar Rapids, for their great rotating selection of craft beer and for their delicious burnt ends. I went there on Saint Patrick's Day this year, and it was loud and packed full of people, but very fun. I also went to Brick's the other day with some friends and we drank some great beer at the bar. Almost every time I have gone to visit Brick's Bar & Grill, it's been very busy, but still a good time. The bartenders are always very kind and knowledgeable about what they have on tap. Additionally, the lighting inside Brick's is always dim and calming. I loved the white tiny lights that they put up for decoration. My friends also really like going to Brick's for their awesome brews and food. Great bar!

    Big beer selection here. They have a special on wings. I tried the smoked wings which turned out to be ok. Slightly overcooked in my opinion. The atmosphere is nice and friendly. Alyssia and Elaine were great!

    Smoked wings with pineapple chili and chipotle BBQ sauces...

    Saw a review about the smoked wings and figured I'd give them a try. They were definitely spot on. The only thing that might have been better is if the containers of sauce were a little bigger. Overall, though, they were totally worth the $15. I also made it for Happy Hour and they had a lot of great local and regional brews at 2 for 1. Will recommend to my coworkers who end up staying in Cedar Rapids in the future...

    Bar with wide selection of beers

    Hands down a amazing bar! Bartenders treat you like a local that they went to high school with, will chat if you want or let you be if that's what you need. Great selection of beers and everything you would need for a hard or mixed drink. This is how bars used to be and still should be! Eddy and Ashely great bartenders and very welcoming! Give this place a try if you are in town or a local looking for a new bar to try!

    Find yourself in downtown CR? Need a brew and in search of a completely BA Happy Hour? Look no further than Brick's Bar & Grill. Five Reasons To Stop In: 1. BOGO Beers, M-F from 3-7pm. Can't beat that! 2. Holy Beer Selection Batman!! This place has TV screens showcasing their extensive, ever changing brews, boasting over 60 on tap. 3. A unique atmosphere that you wanna hang out at. Brick's is in a century year old building with exposed brick walls. Those beauts are lined with antiques and trinkets (as well as several TVs so you won't miss the game). 4. A helpful staff works here. I've never had an issue with being served and our waitresses or bartenders have always been pleasant. 5. Location, Location, Location. The heart of downtown. A great stop before any event at the US Cellular Center. A side note, their food is typical bar food featuring sandwiches, wraps and other bar food staples. I had the Pulled Pork Nachos with queso cheddar and black bean pico over nacho chips. Literally, this is a MASSIVE plate of Doritios with toppings. Fine for a large group but you can't have more than a few before your stomach aches a bit. Stop in for a pint at Brick's!

    Stopped here while passing through Iowa - a gret find! Brick's is on a stretch of 2nd Avenue which features several pubs/bars/brewhouses, and we picked it randomly. It was 8 pm on a Tuesday - not much of a crowd at all. No minors are allowed after 9 pm, and at 8 pm everyone seemed of age except a teen with parents. There was a large group that looked to be straight from the office, a couple couples, and some hockey fans watching playoff games on the big screens. I wouldn't bring little kids here at any hour, out of respect for the adults who want an adult atmosphere. Music was hip-hop and pop, but that may have been patrons' choices on the jukebox. The beer selection is exceptional: over 60 choices, many of them local. The Arms Race Pale Ale by Big Grove Brewery was perfect. Food was more than adequate, not exceptional: generous portions of fries with big burgers and sandwiches. Not a lot of light choices, which is not surprising in a bar/grill atmosphere. Staff was attentive, patient and helpful. Prices for beer and food were completely in line with expectations. Sodas were $2.50, which seemed a bit high to me, but I guess they've got to make some money off the non-drinkers. I'd recommend Brick's to anyone visiting Cedar Rapids. Next time I'll check out other places on the street too - it's a cool neighborhood.

    I tried the chicken wings appetizer ones from here and it was absolutely delicious. The ranch was to die for. Five stars for me!

I'm gluten free and the burger was good (the bun was great!), if ever-so-slightly too juicy. At first, the menu felt incomplete to me, only really having sandwiches. But the burger menu manages to feel special enough to justify this. The ambiance was delightful, but could use a little polish. They don't have good noise control because the hard ceilings and the hard floor reflect all the sound at the patrons. It's not terrible, but it's a detractor. The tables and booths are comfortable, but feel just a tad cheap. Not bad, but certainly room for improvement. And the back patio is a bit plain, you feel like you're missing out if you eat there. They should add some decorations, maybe a mural or something. The service was wonderful. It feels "Mom and Pop," but also like a well-oiled machine. It's close to being a landmark restaurant, but could use that final bit of attention to detail. So: not perfect, but the best place in town.

I love that they constantly rotate their pizza of the week. Even when I'm hesitant because it's something I've never tried before, I find myself excited and eager to go for it--because everything here is consistently a 10. After experiences like this, it's hard not to trust every specialty pizza they put out. Our server, Lexi, was absolutely on point--friendly, so personable . They also let you sample any beer you're curious about, which I really appreciate. I tried the Cotton Candy beer, and it was over-the-moon good. I'm not a big beer drinker at all, and I honestly couldn't believe it was beer. I also got to sample the drinks my party ordered--wow. Every visit, there are new beers on tap. You might miss one and wish it was still around, but the ever-rotating selection is just another reason this place is such a delight. As for the food, I took a leap of faith with the Sriracha BLT pizza. I was very hesitant, but I threw caution to the wind--and I'm so glad I did. It was absolutely fabulous. Need Pizza continues to impress on every level, and I can't wait to come back again.
